stdio.h is missing

[bloodhound23]

I've recently started using Ubuntu, after writing a little test application:

Code: Select all

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
     printf("eat me");

}

the compiler said stdio.h was not found, I did a search of the entire filesystem for stdio.h and only came up with nostdio.h.
Any ideas on how to solve this?

Try installing build-essential via synaptic or apt-get.
